BIOGRAPHY.

tw: death, abuse, murder

nox’s parents were a classic example of mates that were not written in the stars. their father was a high fae and previous steward of hewn city whose mating bond snapped suddenly into place when visiting the illyrian steppes. the pair were happy for only a short time before they realized that they were simply incompatible as a couple. the two soon learned to hate one another. still, nox was the result.

their mother kept quiet when she found herself pregnant. she saw no need to tell her mate of the offspring since they’d decided to keep well away from one another. she raised nox in the illyrian war camps, training her in every way to be like any other illyrian child. since her mother had been amongst those whose wings were clipped, nox was taught early to protect her wings.

when their father discovered their existence, he was livid. nox was thirteen years of age at the time. he had his own mate killed, and pulled nox from their home and brought them to live with him in hewn city. that is where nox received a secondary education in how to play the shadowy court games.

nox was made to glamor their wings and hide any facet of their illyrian heritage. the members of the hewn court were not very accepting of a lesser fae among them. they certainly didn’t respect their sudden appearance. nox had to battle tooth and nail to keep their feet beneath them in the ever cutthroat environment. it was the only life the knew for nearly two and a half centuries. it was a lifetime of constantly hiding with only a few stolen moments of peace between.

when nox’s father died under somewhat questionable circumstances, the role of stewardess passed onto them. they were not excited for the position, but prefers to keep a stern hand over the more vicious of the court. a few people, like the high lord, know nox’s true opinion. they hate their job, but they are damn good at it.

HEADCANONS.

wings || nox was forced to glamor their wings away for the majority of their lifetime. it is perhaps the most painful thing to them. they try to sneak away and fly whenever it’s possible, but it is not often possible. as a result, their wings are somewhat weaker than they would want.

secrets || nox’s illyrian descent is a well known, unknown rumor. everyone has heard the stories that they’re an illyrian bastard, but no one truly knows what to believe. nox likes to keep is vague and makes a point to punish anyone brave enough to question them about it.
